PEP1

Picture Enhancement Processor

PEP1 is a picture enhancement processor based on Zoran’s extensive experience delivering high-quality, high-volume video ICs to major consumer products manufacturers worldwide.
 

Overview

Zoran’s PEP1 Picture Enhancement Processor is a silicon-efficient, Intellectual Property Core for video IC designs. By providing sharper, contrast-enhanced video, PEP1 achieves significant quality improvement. PEP1 is based on Zoran’s extensive experience delivering high-quality, high-volume video ICs to major consumer products manufacturers worldwide. Using a robust contrast enhancement algorithm (dynamic-range enhancement), PEP1 greatly reduces the risk and time involved when integrating picture enhancement functions into an IC. As a result, expensive, discrete components can be eliminated from system designs. When used in conjunction with Zoran’s other IP core products, a silicon- and memory-efficient implementation can be achieved.
